[21.03] The Infrared to Gamma-ray Connection for AGN: Spitzer Space Telescope to GLAST

A.E. Wehrle (Michelson Science Center, Caltech)

The Spitzer Space Telescope launched successfully in August
2003. If Spitzer's cryogen lasts in excess of five years, as
is its goal, Spitzer and GLAST may both operate
simultaneously. We envisage the intriguing possibility of
AGN multiwavelength campaigns centered on these two space
observatories. Spitzer is already observing several types of
AGN with a wide range of redshift, luminosity and
orientation angles. I will discuss new Spitzer observations,
then describe how Spitzer and GLAST may both be used to
address questions about the propagation of jets in AGN.
